Short selling MCO is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Moody's as its price is falling. MCO shares are trading down $5.63 today. To short a stock, an investor borrows shares, sells them and buys the shares back on the public market later to return it to the lender. Short sellers are betting that a stock will decline in price.

How does a short squeeze work against Moody's? A short squeeze for Moody's occurs when it has a large amount of short interest and its stock appreciates in price. This forces short sellers to cover their short interest positions by buying actual shares of MCO, which in turn drives the price of the stock up even further.
